The IDE -  USB 2.0 converter instantly convert any IDE storage devices into a high speed USB 2.0 storage devices. Its small foot print enables it to mount directly on the back of any storage devices via the standard 40-pin IDE connector. When attached to the back of the any Addonics IDE Mobile Rack drive cradle, or the cartridge cradle of the Addonics Drive Cartridge System, any IDE hard drive can be turned into a high speed hot swappable removable drive cartridge.

  

Building a hot swap drive system using a Mobile Rack

To build a hot swap removable drive system, the power to the converter must be able to shut off when the Mobile Rack is turned off. This will trigger a message to the OS to dismount the drive. To implement this feature on any Addonics IDE Mobile Rack, be sure to use the special 2-pin to floppy power cable, that comes with the package, to connect the converter power to the small 2-pin output power on the back of the Drive Cradle (the tray that mounts inside the drive bay).

For Mobile Rack from other manufacturers, you need to wire the power cable from the converter to the 5V power inside the drive cradle. Contact your Mobile Rack supplier for the 5V power connection information.
